Scott is an explorer and has been all of his life. A long time ago, before he could walk, he took his wooden playpen apart and brought me the pieces. If he’d been able to talk, he’d have said, “Don’t fence me in!” Scott is the “old timer” of inline skating in the United States. He has won many races, although he is sometimes 25 or 30 years older than the other participants in the race. In write-ups in the Los Angeles Times newspaper, he is called an anomaly -- different and not easily classified.
